[quote]As for clearing my name Mike, I seriously doubt that will ever happen and even if it did, legally, I'm sure it would never happen in &quot;the court of public opinion&quot;.

And you know what? I wouldn't want it to. My &quot;name&quot; is far more interesting and much more honest now. I would like more people to know and believe that I've never deliberately taken advantage of anyone, old or young, either sexually or morally, but I'm quite happy for the truth, that I've always been a privately open bisexual attracted to beautiful teenagers who wanted to experiment with me, to be understood.

Can I ever run a national contest to find a Eurovision winner again?

Why not? I can't see my youthful personal life affecting the ambitions of most countries. The UK might be a different proposition however, since we are now governed by tabloid headlines.

By the way; is anyone else irritated by the &quot;more votes than ever before&quot; line? Of course there were more votes than ever before - there are more countries than ever before.
I'll bet Katrina got more Douze Points in ratio to the quantity of countries voting than Norway did this year.[/quote]

OK : Statto time (Sorry Anthony) 41 Juries gave Norway 387 votes with 16 Douze points 24 Juries gave Katrina 227 points with 10 Douze points Katrina's average vote per jury was 9.458 Norway's average vote per jury was 9.439 Katrina got 41.667% of the Douze points Norway got 39.024% of the Douze points So JK you can hold your head up high especially as Katrina had no foregone conclusion votes ! (Brotherhood of Man got an average of 9.647 per jury but only 41.17% of the Douze points) Takes anorak off
PBS	I saw Lithuania perorm, and was disappointed after the quality of his studio version. His live act didn't have the impact and I knew he wouldn't win. The I had to go do something else, so didn't see any more of the show. Norway had been one of my top five choices, although I would have voted for Germany, as I said before, if I hadn't completely forgotten about Eurovision, even though I knew it was unlikely they would win. I'm sort of glad the UK made the top five, although I still think the song was rather lifeless.

Any chance of you clearing your name by then ? What was interesting for me was how close Azerbaijan pushed Norway in the semi under televotes but with the combined juries in the final it was left a mile behind. Well done ALW for securing a 5th place and a 12 pointer from Greece (sadly our only douze points) but it was eclipsed by that gorgeous Icelandic song and Jade, unlike Man United, won't have "Giggs" in November. Someone somewhere will have to explain to me how that diabolical Russian crap finished 11th Oh hold on, lemme check....... Israel, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Azerbaijan, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Czech Republic and Armenia gave them 78 of their 91 points.Those countries sound familiar for some reason... You know me by now JK. I have to moan about something
giles2008	Thought the inteval show was a stunning piece of performance art. Couldnt see it happening over here though. The health and safety mafia would have a fit over water filled lightrigs hovering inches above the heads of the audience. I noticed Ireland gave Iceland the 12 points. You can bet thats going to be heard in many an Irish singers set list over the next few months. Norway may have won the competition but the Iceland entry has lasting appeal and i can see it being huge. Be interesting to see the charts next week.
